Far be it for mere plebes like us to tell the world's movers and shakers how to spend their hard earned/inherited stacks. But, come on, this is a belt buckle that costs $84,000. It doesn't get anymore lifestyle™ than that.

Here's a quick aside: We once had a wealthy, but not insanely wealthy guy with a moderately impressive car collection tell us that you could identify a real car guy by looking at the guy's watch--and that the specific Rolex Daytona that is given to winners of the 24 Hours of Daytona was the mark of a true car guy--even if the wearer had never actually been in a race car. It's a cool watch, but we spent his entire lecture mentally compiling a list of cars we'd buy if we were given enough money to purchase such a bauble.

Anyway, $84,000 is a lot of money! But then again, if we were really rich, people would be complaining about how stupid we are for spending our whole fortune making and running thousands of hours of TV ads that mock and criticize existing TV ads. They'd also be mad that we bought a fleet of Voisin Biscuters instead of buying a LaFerrari and a Veyron. Oh well, matter of taste, right?

So, let's say your sense of taste allows you to consider purchasing an $84,000 belt buckle. You'd probably be interested to know what you get for all that money. Well:

If you want one, you'd better hurry: Only 44 will be made. For more information, or to see a weird-looking guy play with his belt buckle in a way that might make you feel kind of uncomfortable and apprehensive, click here.
